FF: 4 Door Lock Gadgets (video)

One of my fire marshal pals sent me this Fixed-it Friday video. Neither of us recommending the use of these gadgets, but the dogs are super-cute and I always like to see people’s lock-related inventions – even if they’re not code-compliant for use on an egress door.

Yikes……working overtime to develop cheap solutions to prevent the door from opening (from either side). A couple of observations:
1. These products all assume the lock is going to fail or someone who shouldn’t, has a key…..really??
2. Wouldn’t want to be inside the house if a fire broke out in the middle of the night and I had to get out or if an intruder broke in through a window (which is normally the case) and was inside the house
